I am very interested and I tried to message you, Brian, but got this, "The member Brian Alpert cannot receive any new messages". Maybe a full mailbox? Please send any info on parts and the smith, if you are able to message me, and ryche_me, too, if you would be so kind. Is there a list of what is needed anywhere? And, oh yes, I'm sure that they garner attention...I think I might get a warning for the descriptor that comes to mind for it.

Thanks, guys, you are all confirming what I was already thinking. I was considering adding an aftermarket heat shield, having a rail made that would use the existing holes, a red dot, maybe a muzzle break that would cover the messed up barrel end, etc, and using it as a pleasure shooter. I didn't pay anything for this rifle, I bought a guys collection complete and put this one at $0 because of the mods. Got lots of ammo with it, also at $0, probably worth more than the rifle, lol. I just looked at the dror; I wasn't acquainted with them. Very cool and might be even a better idea. Has anyone out there already collected the parts to do it and decided to abandon their project? And I'll search through your posts, Brian, to learn more.

I don't think the barrel was replaced. I'm not having much success posting more pics but you can see some here: http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/amazingrobster/library/Johnson%20Automatic

Hi, all! I'm happy to be a new member and I am hoping that someone here can tell me if they have ever seen a Johnson like mine. Yes, the radiator was cut...
